I love coffee from the Dominican Republic and this is especially on the top of the list. Tender, aromatic and no aftertaste. I wish I had ordered more.

Karoma is my absolute favorite. I have tried just about all of your special selections and none is as good as Karoma. it is the perfect roast....not too dark and not too light. It is never bitter. It is good any time if day or evening, but i especially love it in the morning. the aroma is heavenly :) I am hoping you will not discontinue Karoma. I stock up on it when you have a promotional.

Since this is being discontinued, how can your Master Tasters possibly recomment I try Toraja?? Have they really tasted both? Toraja is a dark roast! Karoma, which is medium roast, does not have Dark Roast characteristics, that I can find, AT ALL!I am sad that you are discontinuing my favorite Karoma Estate coffee. I will probably stay with you guys a bit longer, but you keep discontinuing my favorites, or change roasts on me. I originallly loved Mohring and swtiched to pea berry and now Karoma. I will try Columbia. But if you discontinue it, I am going to close my account an just have to go buy from a roaster. I don't want to. Believe me. I can't pay your prices plus shipping for everyday quality grocery store quality coffees. Please listen to us.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Switching to grocery markets. Keeping only those with broad appeal, special bean coffees at price appeal to a much limited consumer. Obviously they are having trouble. Its either this, or they will fold completely. Reorganization is imperative. Perhaps eventually they will be in a position to expand back into these markets. Honestly, this is just common sense.

I too believe that the masters are only doing what corporate says and that they are most certainly running out of choices that are akin to the brands being discontinued...no way do they have enough coffees to please the diversity of their customer base. I'm sure that Gevalia has already lost many a customer due to this corporate tact. Obviously, there is a coffee bean problem but that can't be what is driving this dumbed down version of Gevalia's heritage. I've lost 2 of my 3 favorites and the 3rd is also scheduled for discontinuance.I heartily endorse your point of view.

Very smooth, with an interesting taste that reminds me of roasted cashews. I love this coffee. I've tried many by Gevalia, and after reading the reviews for this one, I decided to give it a try. It costs a little more than the others, but it's worth it. I am so disappointed that it's being discontinued! As a side note, I had it in my mug at work. The lid was off, so the aroma was able to escape. When I walked over to my colleague's cubicle, she said, "WHAT is that? It smells INSANE!" I told her that it tastes as insane as it smells, and wrote the name down on a post-it note so that she can order it! I didn't even have anything added to it - I drink it black - the aroma is just wonderful.

One of my very favorite coffees. Sorry to see it is being discontinued.

I tried this on a whim (I believe Gevalia sent it to me to try), but now I am hooked. This coffee is now neck-and-neck with my other favorite, Mocca Java. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it. Flavor is strong, but not bitter. My favorite kind of coffee. Satisfying, a real pleasure to drink.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Flowery undertones, wine aftertaste

I have tried every variety of the Estate coffees. I like the pure taste of just the bean for my coffee. (the only exception being Blueberry Creme, alas).Of the Estate Coffees only two are almost neck in neck, but this one, this one has the edge for top place. It has the complexity that so many use to describe their coffees in other places than Gevalia, and this one delivers all that Gevalia states and far more. The top notes are floral and linger for a few moments, but the bottom and residual note is like that of a fine wine. I dearly wish not to recommend it as it is an extremely limited production, but I must. It is utterly delicious.

I don't usually write reviews. But, I am making an exception on this coffee. I have tried many coffees over the years, and although I think the regular Gevalia lines are not as good as they used to be. This is the coffee offering that has kept me on the autoship list. I have been buying from Gevalia since the early 80's, and like a rich coffee with a very smooth finish. This is, by far, my favorite offering from Gevalia. It reminds me of when I lived in Germany and we used a hand grinder to grind our beans for dessert with our special friends. This coffee is great for drinking any time of day, when you want a rich smooth cup of coffee. It always begs me for another cup!

Weak body, sharp acidic tones.

Typically, I enjoy a medium roast, full body, low/no acidity, and a smooth finish coffee (my favorite in the US is Caribou Coffee brand). Unfortunately, my taste buds didn’t like any Gevalia coffee beans I had bought. Karoma Estate tasted very week (per Gevalia’s instructions I used more coffee per each cup of water) and it had a sharp acidic finish. After reading many positive reviews here, I wanted to like Gevalia coffee. Unfortunately, this one was the worst of the four I purchased on this website.

This coffee is great any time of day. It is bold,and a bit sweet, which is what I love.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Karoma may be the absolute best coffee I've ever tasted - and that covers a LOT of ground. It even beats out my treasured Jamaican Blue Mountain. The aroma is divine, and the taste is perfect. Bold enough, but not biting. Complex flavors caress the palate. I'm going to have to be ordering more of this - and soon. Delicious!

HAVE BEEN DRINKING THE BREAKFAST BLEND BUT IT DOES NOT EVEN COMPARE TO KAROMA ESTATE...HARD TO EXPLAIN THE TASTE BUT THE AROMA IS SMOOTH AND THE COFFEE IS SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!SO HARD TO GO BACK TO MY BREAKFAST BLEND MIGHT COST MORE BUT IT IS WORTH IT!!!!

Karoma Estate is an excellent dessert coffee. The aroma and flavor are amazing and will enhance the enjoyment of whatever sweet finish you serve your guests. After dessert they will want Karoma Estate refills. Very smooth and relaxing.

Yes, I recommend this product.

This is my first time to order this variant of coffee and to my amaze - I fell in love with its smooth taste, no trace of bitterness. I can drink 5 cups of it in a day, thank goodness I ordered the decaf. My 15 y/o teener wants to taste her first cup of coffee, with this very good taste - I served her one and now she wanted more but that's it for her, let me indulge myself with this new found love.

This coffee is unique and so worth the price. Grocery store coffees don't even come close! I brew this one with 2 level Tbsp per 10-oz mug and add 2 packets of Splenda sweetner and a generous splash of half-and-half.

This coffee is so smooth. The flavor is wonderful and there is very little acidity or bitterness. When I have visitors over, I ALWAYS get compliments on this coffee. They all want to know what kind it is and where I got it. I love all of the Gevalia coffees I've tried, but this is easily my favorite. It is a little more expensive than some of the other types of Gevalia coffees, but well worth it! I highly recommed it to anyone that is planning to try Gevalia for the first time. It really is a wonderful representation of the company.
